Effect of combining anti-epidermal growth factor receptor antibody C225 and radiation on DU145 prostate cancer.
The epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) network has rich targets for prostate cancer killing. Herein we evaluated the effects of combining the EGFR inhibition and radiation on DU145 prostate cancer. We treated DU145 prostate cancer cells with various doses of anti-EGFR antibody (C225) and gamma-irradiation (RAD). The effects of the treatment on cell viability and growth were assessed with c...
متن کاملAntitumor activity of sequential treatment with topotecan and anti-epidermal growth factor receptor monoclonal antibody C225.
Epidermal growth factor (EGF)-related proteins such as transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha) control cancer cell growth through autocrine and paracrine pathways. Overexpression of TGF-alpha and/or its receptor (EGFR) has been associated with a more aggressive disease and a poor prognosis. The blockade of EGFR activation has been proposed as a target for anticancer therapy. Monoclonal ant...
متن کاملCetuximab/C225-induced intracellular trafficking of epidermal growth factor receptor.
The monoclonal antibody C225 interacts with the ectodomain of the epidermal growth factor (EGF) receptor (EGFR) to block ligand binding and initiates receptor endocytosis and intracellular trafficking. The data herein show that C225-dependent EGFR trafficking relocalizes the receptor to the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) and nucleus. This mechanism, which also involves interaction of the C225-inter...
متن کاملGrowth factor/growth factor receptor loops in autocrine growth regulation of human prostate cancer DU145 cells.
Autocrine growth factors produced by epithelial cells mediate the development and proliferation of neoplastic human prostate tissue. Various approaches have been used to down-regulate neoplastic growth of prostate cancer using natural flavonoids, soluble receptors, pseudo-ligands, monoclonal antibodies and tyrosine kinase inhibitors (tyrphostins). Selected growth factor/growth factor receptor l...
متن کاملAntiangiogenic and antitumor activity of anti-epidermal growth factor receptor C225 monoclonal antibody in combination with vascular endothelial growth factor antisense oligonucleotide in human GEO colon cancer cells.
Angiogenesis plays a key role in tumor growth and metastasis. The transforming growth factor alpha (TGF-alpha)-epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) autocrine pathway controls in part the production of angiogenic factors such as vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) in cancer cells. In this study, we have evaluated the antiangiogenic and antitumor...
